We have a 2.5 ton from harbor freight in the new garage. It's low profile, so it can go as low an 2 and 1/8 inches which is great for ATVs, lawnmowers, etc...but, it goes up to 20 or so, that way I can still lift the jeep :-bd

Haha, ive been using the factory emergency jack with cinderblocks... Took me 45 minutes to jack the truck so I could work on it. So this should make things go smoother from now on :D

I've gotta admit, I love this jack. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/p ... _vc=-10005
I bought it last year to keep in the Cherokee. When I bought the J10, it came out and has been used to keep the flat back tire off the ground. It's a 3 ton jack with a jackstand built in. I plan on asking for another for Christmas.

As far as actual jackstands go, I just got two two-ton "big red" jack stands from TSC. They work nice, so far.
